Background
The Craftsman Chain Saw 358.350462 is a gasoline-powered tool designed for cutting wood. It is equipped with a 2.2 cu.in./36cc 2-cycle engine and a 16-inch bar. The chain saw features various components including an ON/STOP switch, a throttle trigger, a throttle lockout, a fast idle lock button, a choke knob, a primer bulb, and a chain brake. The ON/STOP switch is used to stop the engine, while the throttle trigger controls engine speed. The throttle lockout must be pressed before the throttle trigger can be squeezed. The fast idle lock holds the throttle trigger in the starting position. The choke knob activates the choke to provide additional fuel during cold starts. The primer bulb circulates fuel to the carburetor for quicker starting.
The chain brake is designed to stop the chain if kickback occurs and can be activated automatically or manually. The chain saw also has a feature for chain tension adjustment. It is normal for a new chain to stretch during the first 30 minutes of operation, hence frequent checking of chain tension is advised. The saw is built for occasional use and has been factory tested with the carburetor precisely adjusted. It uses a fuel mix and employs an automatic chain oiler for continuous lubrication to the chain and guide bar.
